Probles with watching Apple TV in a web-browser (Ubuntu)

Hi. I have problems with watching Apple TV in web-browser (particularly I try in on Ubuntu). Unfortunately, only Apple TV application on Apple devices works for me.

The problem is the following. If I login to my Apple account on tv.apple.com, I can't search for anything - even the most obvious movies won't be found. If I share the movie from the app on Apple device and open the link in web-browser on Ubuntu, I see the page of the movie, I can watch trailer and so on but I can't watch the movie itself (however, the movie is already bought and plays nicely on Apple device the same time). The website just says that the movie is available on iTunes. I tried several web-browsers and situation is the same.

How to solve this issue and watch movies in web-browser on non-Apple devices?

The https://tv.apple.com website only offers access to content included in the TV+ subscription service.

It is not a full portal to the iTunes Store to watch purchased movies.

You cannot watch movies purchased in iTunes on Ubuntu. It can only be done on Macs or Windows computers with that have the iTunes application installed. Or on other devices such as an iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, 3rd party smart TVs,

game consoles and streaming devices with the full Apple TV App.
